Summary:

ZIP code 99301 in the Pasco area includes 26 schools serving elementary, middle, and high school students, with most operated by the Pasco School District and one re-engagement program connected to Educational Service District 123. School quality varies widely, so individual school performance is more useful than a ZIP-code average.

The strongest elementary options are Edwin Markham Elementary and Ruth Livingston Elementary. Both rank among the top schools statewide, earn four-star ratings, and report ELA and math proficiency above state averages. Ruth Livingston is especially strong in science, with 79.07% proficiency. Other comparatively strong elementary schools include Columbia River Elementary, Rosalind Franklin STEM Elementary, Barbara McClintock STEM Elementary, and Maya Angelou Elementary. In contrast, Rowena Chess Elementary, Captain Gray STEM Elementary, Marie Curie STEM Elementary, and Emerson Elementary rank near the bottom statewide.

Among middle schools, Ray Reynolds Middle School is the clear leader, outperforming the district in ELA, math, and science, although middle-school results overall are weaker than the best elementary results. At the high-school level, Chiawana Senior High School stands out with a 92.8% graduation rate, a 3.7% dropout rate, and improving ELA performance, though math remains a concern. Pasco Senior High School has a particularly serious math weakness, while New Horizons High School reports much lower graduation outcomes but serves a different student population. Families should also note that several lower-performing schools have very high economic-need rates, while spending and student-teacher ratios do not consistently predict results.
